Speak With It

Hey
Erm...
Hope you're good. Hope you, slept well
I er...
I wrote you something.
I wrote it yesterday
Erm, and I wanted to send it yesterday
But I...
I thought it would make a better morning gift than a good night one
Erm...
Ya, I was thinking about you a lot yesterday and I thought that
Er... I'd write you a poem so
Ha, it goes like this...
time started again when I saw you
ticking away the death within me
seconds spun into minutes
minutes into hours
and showers
of your love rained on me
you woke me
drew me
from my corpse-like slumber
found all the scattered bits of me that lay yonder
and told me to open my eyes
unstuck my frozen fingers
and coaxed my voice from my throat
hid a smile in the corner of your mouth
and caught my first word with it
spilled your breath onto my tongue and said
'speak with it,'
covered my frailty with patience
and asked my limbs to move
wound me into your embrace
and traced
your history on my palm
rewrote my DNA
and claimed me as your own
you broke away the stone
casing that kept me safe from everyone
and you haven't let me go any further
than where your gaze can rest
where you can reel me in
with just a look
to make sure that I stay
and share a secret smile
that only I can spy
hidden in the corner of your mouth
that caught my first word with it
and spilled your breath onto my tongue
and said 'Speak with it,'
